Another of our ships, while in a foreign port, took similar measures to free itself from those troublesome inmates.

"Olive Leaves" by Lydia Howard Sigourney

In 1821, the Russian government seemed to be disposed to wiser views, and allowed European goods free entrance into the ports of Georgia.

In poetry:

The wind blew in through the open port,
So freshly joyous and salt and free,
Your hair it lifted, your lips it sought,
And then swept back to the open sea.

"Sea Song" by Laurence Hope

Phryne had talents for mankind,
Open she was, and unconfin'd,
Like some free port of trade:
Merchants unloaded here their freight,
And Agents from each foreign state,
Here first their entry made.

"Phyrne" by Alexander Pope

As late I went a-strolling by the shore,
And thought of ports I'd like to see I haven't seen before,
Across the Strait the lighthouse kept winking fine and free
To show me where the road is that leads to open sea.

"Mother Carey" by Cicely Fox Smith

Ah, Wagner saw their glory, and Pillow knew their blood,
That poured on a nation's altar, a sacrificial flood.
Port Hudson heard their war-cry that smote its smoke-filled air,
And the old free fires of their savage sires again were kindled there.

In news:

Black Ball Ferry Line is celebrating 50 years of service between Victoria, British Columbia, and Port Angeles by giving away a free weekend vacation for two every month for the entire year.

Designed specifically for pre-set proportional system balance, the Bell & Gossett Lead-Free Circuit Setter Plus line by Xylem features integrated pressure/temperature ports to easily verify the flow rates and temperatures.

Grain shipments through the Port of Churchill dropped this year as the Canadian Wheat Board adjusted to a new monopoly-free reality, but Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz said there is still reason for optimism.

In science:

When some port fails, it would be possible by dynamically changing the assignment function to change the damaged port by a free port.

Mathematical Models in Schema Theory

Existence of free ports makes a closed schema potentially open as it is possible to attach connections to these ports.

Consequently, a detection by the dark port cannot obviously be described as completely “interaction-free”.

A Simple "Quantum Interrogation" Method

One could leave free ports for future network connections [14, 20] but this wastes investment until actual expansion.

Jellyfish: Networking Data Centers Randomly

DCell and BCube [19, 20] allow expansion to an a priori known target size, but require servers with free ports reserved for planned future expansion.

Jellyfish: Networking Data Centers Randomly

Unless free ports are preserved for such expansion (which is part of LEGUP’s approach), this can cause signiﬁcant overhauls of the topology even when adding just a few new servers.

Jellyfish: Networking Data Centers Randomly

One can simply pick a random pair of switches with free ports (for the switch-pairs are not already neighbors), join them with a link, and repeat until no further links can be added.

Jellyfish: Networking Data Centers Randomly

If a switch remains with ≥ 2 free ports ( p1 , p2 ) — which includes the case of incremental expansion by adding a new switch — these can be incorporated by removing a uniform-random existing link (x, y), and adding links ( p1 , x) and ( p2 , y).

This process is repeated until all ports are ﬁlled (or a single odd port remains, which could be matched with another free port on an existing rack, used for a server, or left free).

Jellyfish: Networking Data Centers Randomly

LEGUP attempts to maximize network bandwidth, and also may keep some ports free in order to ease expansion in future steps.

A signal-recycling mirror, placed at an interferometer’s output port, sends information about the test-mass position ˆx(t) back into the interferometer as part of the back-action (radiation-pressure) force, and thereby alters the free test-mass dynamics.

The noise in gravitational-wave detectors and other classical-force measurements is not influenced by test-mass quantization

They hence lase at their own free-running wavelength, which leads to equal powers but different lasing wavelengths at the two output ports.
